Nissan's top-selling model in recent years is the Altima sedan, and it is one of the most common Nissan models. The Altima is an affordable, front-wheel drive, mid-size sedan powered in base form by a 2.5-liter inline-four engine producing 187 horsepower, and many reviewers consider it to be both comfortable and relatively sporting to drive. The smaller Sentra, a compact economy sedan that is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four producing 130 horsepower, is slightly less popular than the Altima despite its cheaper price. The Nissan Versa subcompact is one of the most common Nissan cars on the road largely due to being one of the lowest-priced vehicles on the market in 2015, but its small size and lack of amenities combine to make it less popular than either the Altima or Sentra. The Nissan Rogue is a small crossover-style SUV with available all-wheel drive powered by a standard 170-horsepower engine.

Though not as common a model overall as Nissan's gas-powered sedans and SUVs, the all-electric Nissan Leaf has experienced significant popularity for its type since its debut in 2010. This small commuter hatchback has the distinction of being one of the most affordable and the most common electric vehicle on the road as of 2015.
